What is the difference between this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-01...76096559QQrdZ1

and this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AEM-S...76300047QQrdZ1

I would get a better cone filter for the cheaper one...but honestly...why is it $100 more?

the filter...the AEM one has a genuine KnN filter, and it is also C.A.R.B tagged unlike the shitty ebay one.

It costs money to get CARB cert I'm sure. It costs money for everything.

Yes, it costs a lot of money to submit a part for testing. :a:
That is where the majority of the price premium is coming from.
The rest comes from the filter.. and the license plate frame. :chuckles:
